Integración de Paisajes y Estrategias Multidisciplinarias para la Restauración Ecológica y Reforestación en la Selva Central de Perú y la Región de la Orinoquía desde el Análisis de Impactos Ambientales y Socioeconómicos en la recuperación de Servicios Ecosistémicos

Abstract

The biodiverse regions of the central Peruvian jungle and the Orinoquía are facing severe environmental and socioeconomic challenges. Deforestation, driven by intensified agricultural activity and livestock farming, has drastically reduced natural habitats, negatively impacting native species. This loss of biodiversity is further exacerbated by local water contamination, compromising the health of communities dependent on these essential resources. Additionally, carbon emissions resulting from deforestation contribute to climate change, worsening its effects on ecosystems and human populations. The overexploitation of natural resources, such as timber and agricultural land, has led to soil degradation and the loss of crucial ecosystem services, affecting local livelihoods and economic development. There is an urgent need to implement sustainable practices that promote ecological restoration and carbon capture to enhance climate resilience and ensure sustainable development in these areas. This project aims to reverse these negative impacts and promote the long-term sustainability of natural resources. By integrating landscapes, analyzing biodiversity and water quality, monitoring soil conditions, and implementing carbon capture strategies, the project seeks to improve environmental and socioeconomic impacts and restore vital ecosystem services for human well-being and biodiversity conservation. To ensure the success and sustainability of the project, rigorous monitoring of key parameters will be implemented. This includes continuous tracking of biodiversity through flora and fauna inventories and genetic diversity studies, soil quality analysis to maintain optimal conditions, and water quality monitoring through pH, turbidity, and contaminant analysis. Additionally, carbon stored in biomass and soil will be measured, and models will be used to estimate carbon sequestration. These monitoring efforts will provide critical data to evaluate project progress, adjust strategies, and ensure lasting benefits for ecosystems and local communities.
